BIT PLC Gurugulam, established with a cost estimation of Rs.1 crore, is an interdisciplinary,
industry-backed centre focused on developing “Skill Excellence in PLC” for academia and
industry. This lab intended to bridge today’s gap between industry requirements and technical
education, provide solutions that make technical institutes more aligned with industry needs and
make engineering graduate students industry-ready. This lab comprises highly advanced industrial
standard controllers like PLC (S71200/S7300/S71500) and HMI to learn, design, communicate, and
interface advanced controllers with real-time applications. This centre assists our students and
faculty members in learning how to configure and programme PLCs from various manufacturers such
as Siemens, Delta, AB, and Mitsubishi, as well as develop applications for controlling various
industry operations such as servo and VFD. This allows them to be trained both theoretically and
practically in accordance with standards, thereby expanding their knowledge of Industrial
Automation.
